SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 275,804, dated April 17,1883.

Application filed August 12, 1882.

T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, DANIEL S. COOKE, of thecity and county of Providence, and State of Rhode Island, have inventeda new and useful Improvement in Fans; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing specification, taken in connection with the accompanyingdrawings, forming a part of the same, is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof.

My invention consists in a fan having a nonfolding blade, which isprovided with a pocket or receptacle adapted to be closed andtemporarily to hold a sachet, cards, tickets, or other small articlesused or carried by ladies, as will hereinafter appear.

Referring to the drawings, Figures 1 and 2 represent respectively frontand side views of a fan embodying my invention. Fig.3 shows a front viewof a fan with the flap of the pocket or receptacleraised to give accessto the intenor.

The fan-blade A and pocket or receptacle B may be made in any preferredshape and of any proper material, and the pocket B be secured to theblade or body of the fan by stitching, rivets, cement, or in anypreferred manner. Preferably the pocket is provided with a flap, b,which may be fastened by a clasp, as shown in Fig. 1, or by a tongue andloop, as shown in Fig. 2, to retain the articles within (N0 model.)

the pocket, although the receptacle may have a self-closing elasticmouth, or a mouth provided with gathering-strings, if the material ofthe pocket be sufficiently flexible. One or more pockets, B, may bearranged on one or both sides of the fan-blade, as desired.

My improved fan not only serves its usual and proper purpose as a fan,but, in addition, provides a convenient receptacle for a sachet,allowing the air to be perfumed as the fan is moved, or for cards, caror theater tickets, or other articles. My improved fan therefore isdoubly useful, and it may be made highly ornamental.

I claim-- 1. As an improved article of manufacture, a fan having anon-folding blade, to which is secured a pocket or receptacle theinterior of which is accessible, substantially as and for the purposesspecified.

2. As an improved article of manufacture, a fan having a non-foldingblade, to which is secured a pocket or receptacle, B, having a flap, b,and means for securing the flap in a closed position, substantially asdescribed and shown.
